Productivity Commission backs looser venture capital rules for startups
The Productivity Commission urges the Albanese government to ease venture capital restrictions.
The Productivity Commission has told the Albanese government to loosen rules around venture capital funding. Venture capital is money that investors put into early-stage startups.
Strict rules limit who can invest and what money can do. This slows how quickly money reaches new companies.
The commission called these restrictions barriers to growth. Startup funding already faces pressure from other proposed tax changes.
Removing these rules would let more investors back startups. New businesses could then grow faster.
